Guild Wars has catered to pvp'rs ONLY for 6+ years. GW2 will ONLY cater to pvp'rs again.

Wait, i thought WoW catered to children? But now its ONLY to raiders? Do you mean children raiders? I guess the pokemon game is another form of raiding? Who knew arena and rated BGs were raiding also.

And those three Guild Wars expansions that each had significantly more landmass than Rift for PvErs only were only for the sake of PvPers. That whole hall of monuments thing or the GWAMM title is obviously just PvP content too.

Rift is catering to people with short attention spans who don't care about immersion at this point. Then agan, that is a large portion of the MMO player base.

You actually listen to pure he is a total rift fan boy. Somehow he slinked his way onto my server i blow him up everytime he starts the fan boy whine....

That aside its a welcome addition to rift nothing wrong with a game giving you multiple things to do. It's almost laughable people are even complaining a company would dare do that. If you want to be bored linear and constricted. Play X game thats free to play out there that does that. Only about 1 million clones of them pick one go be happy.

I will play rift and GW2 because both give you plenty to do. Also pure hasnt beta's GW2 because if he did. He wouldnt make a monkey out of himself saying gw2 caters to pvper's. It clearly the minute you play it shows up just how much pve/story/exploring is a focal point now. Stuff like this is why you shouldnt just believe everything people say. They talk just to talk regardless of if they know ANY facts.

Good job on Rift and the developers over at Trion, I think charging for expansions is robbery and it's a reason I stopped supporting Blizzard, I will never play WoW again. They also charge you an arm and a leg for anything from gender change, to cosmetic mounts or server transfer.

Trion earns a lot of respect from me for developing content from the money generated by the sub fee, the way subscription MMOs were supposed to be and should be.

You would think DAoC fans would finally be proven right after so many 2 faction attempts at pvp have failed. Trion is showing Blizzard the path to 3 faction pvp. People say they have not innovated, but they are taking this themepark and adding things we were TOLD are not possible.

Also I called it. Just like they jacked the merc system from TOR less then 2 months after it released they took inspiration from DAoC and GW2.

Trion never ceases to amaze me. Someone give Trion all of EA's games and heck, throw in SOE's games too. Maybe even let them have WoW so we can actually get content updates to finally earn our monthly sub, lol.

Seriously though, Trion has got cajones and I am really impressed with their "innovative" content updates. Can't wait to see what else they do with this game. Hopefully add a whole new leveling aspect to take the tedium away from leveling Alts.

I have to agree Trion is an amazing company when it comes to updates and new features.

I may even go back to Rift and see what has all changed from the time I last played :) especially with 3-way cross fac tion PvP!

I've never played Rift but I am impressed with its Developers. When it launched I really just thought it was a Wow-clone, a relatively fair assessment at the time. Over time, Rift has proven itself again and again, that it can adapt to the environment around it and improve upon itself. I will probably never play Rift, but I am glad they have found a playerbase b/c they deserve it.

(I am a GW2 fan, but I have no quarrels with Devs taking cues from GW2. Afterall, as already mentioned, WvWvW came from DAoC in the first place. I wish all the best to Rift and Trion.)

They are doing just that, they are bringing in Instant Adventures to lower level zones asawell as bringing in a mentoring system.

They had my interest until I read this part here:

The match ends when a single team has claimed 40% of the control points or 5,000 players are killed – once this happens a 10 minute timer will start, this is your chance to make a last grab for control – after which you’ll earn your rewards!

Really, the "match" ends? Just another glorfied battleground then, with more opponents, especially in light of the statement of no keep warfare.

Not what I'm looking for, so I won't be back any time soon.

But I will give Trion props for always looking to improve their game.

Lets us get some details out before we jump to conclusions. They are well aware this is supposed to be a long term matches. This could take weeks for all we really know.
